In this case, found that the possession of lands apprehended by the daughter, after the father's decease, who had disponed that land to his daughter, in satisfaction of her mother's contract,—could not in law infer an acceptation of that right and disposition made to her by her father, in satisfaction, as said is; she being the only bairn of the marriage, to whom it was provided betwixt her father and mother: unless it were alleged, that the daughter, after the father's decease, did recover decreets against the tenants of that land, for payment of the duties thereof, founded on that disposition.
Act. Sinclar and Dinmuire.Alt. Lockhart.
This seems somewhat contrary to Mr. David Thoires his case aforesaid. I have the Information thereof, &c.
